  I'd like to point also to other OpenSource solutions existing for
other platforms. For example, TCPMP/BetaPlayer for WindowsCE has
optimized codecs for arm5. The problem, TCPMP is not-real OpenSource
project, in the sense that they take somebody's open sources, hack
them (kudos), but then make reasonable obstacles to sharing it and
reuse of their hacks by others (frown). "Reasonable", as they
don't really violate original code licences (mostly GPL/LGPL)
formally, just don't share their code on the level comparable to what
other projects do on the current Internet. Nonetheless, one can get
their source code, and even without paying the transfer medium cost
;-D.

  "Reasonable" also includes clever PR of promising a Linux version,
but not hasting with it at all (obviously, they're short on resources,
just like us), and that keeps people from looking at their stuff in
detail. Nonetheless, that's probably the case where OpenSource's
infamous and dull tool - duplication of effort - is exactly useful.
So, anyone who cares about the video on PDAs (especially middle-class)
strong enough to go from questions to doing something, may want to
dig in their stuff.

   This is the link which does contain some source:
